Frequently Asked Questions

Glee is the UK’s largest annual garden, pet and leisure trade exhibition.

You'll see exhibitors with thousands of product ranges, key brands with high profit margin and plenty of new product launches. It is the essential buying event for multiples and independents including online and mail order retailers.

Pre-registration is fast and free. Simply register today and you won’t have to pay the £20 entry fee at the show. We'll also send your entry badge and show preview to you two weeks before the show which will allow you to skip the queues at the door.

An event like Glee can help staff on all levels have a better understanding of the industry, suppliers and trends so colleagues and staff are encouraged to attend, but they must register to avoid having to pay £20 entry fee. You can register them on their behalf or they can simply register themselves.
